You used to be able to drive along Northlake Blvd heading west out past Ibis and there were farms. Lots of road stands selling fruit and vegetables. About 2 years ago a large trac of land was sold and they are building a huge housing development named Avenir.
The problem is if you live at this point of Northlake you have no way out or in unless you take a long, long route that eventually brings you to Okeechobee Blvd. Your only practical escape route is Northlake. So the construction on the 3 mentioned roads has be going on for a few years to widen the roads to handle the huge increase in traffic. It will continue for many more years before completed.
Are we ever going to reach a point when we finally stop building on every inch of vacant land. A friend was recently down for a visit with the intention of possibly relocating to WPB. I discouraged them because it so much more congested then when I moved here a decade ago.
